Yes he was! Thanks for your vote - if you need a Joe to vote for, vote for the Rock (Roadblock) for me lol!

Mr. Raiz, it's great to have you on the boards! I'm a big fan of your work!

Great choices and thanks so much for your kind words! Cheers!

For the Joes... I'll go for Scarlet as long as she's drawn as a kick butt woman and not "cheesecake" if you catch my drift. Strong independent women, for the win (plus... yeah... redhead. Swoon...).

Sentinel Prime looks cool absolutely

And don't worry, my art nowadays I try to make the characters as much like their real life counterparts as possible, so no cheese here

Thanks for voting!

Megatron Wolf wrote:For the bots i have to go with Jazz & for the Joes its a tie between Snake Eyes & scarlet. Also just a thought, shouldnt sentinel be listed as a decepticon? He did betray the autobots & killed ironhide. Yeah he never officially said he was a con but his actions were far from that of an autobot.

That is true, maybe if he gets through I'll draw him in the middle between the Autobots and Decepticons - we'll see

And yes one vote for Snake Eyes! Whoo hoo!

Thanks for voting

My choices for the Autobot is -Sentinel Prime (Dark of the Moon)
and for the Joe it is - General Joseph Colton (Retaliation)
I can't wait to make a decision for the Cons and Cobra.

Wow, Sentinel Prime is Killing it right now lol!

Thanks so much for the vote and all your kind words! Cheers!

depends on point of view transformers comics are but there faces are to smooth human looking, and movie some of them are recognizable but there aliens wouldnt make much sense for transformer to be in bot mode with smooth face looks human as kabukie mask as shown in comics movie is realistic version of bots.

Autobots:

Optimus Prime ( any optimus prime )
Ironhide (Transformers)
Sideswipe (Revenge of the Fallen)
Sentinel Prime (Dark of the Moon)
Dino (Dark of the Moon)
Wheelie (Dark of the Moon)
Brains (Age of Extinction)
Grimlock (Age of Extinction)

Joes

Snake Eyes
Heavy Duty (Rise of Cobra)
General Hawk (Rise of Cobra)
Scarlett (Rise of Cobra)
Roadblock (Retaliation)
Jinx (Retaliation)
General Joseph Colton (Retaliation)

Awesome list you have there! Though I do need you just to make one choice for each

It is interesteing how there is so many Sentinel Prime votes, and No Optimus votes lol!

Thanks!

Scorn (Age of Extinction) and Roadblock (Retaliation) seems fun, so that's my vote.

News Credits: 5 · by **Convoy** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 11:36 pm

Thanks, Jim. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with and put out.

News Credits: 5 · by **jamesraiz** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 10:12 am

THANK YOU EVEYRONE FOR VOTING!!!

So this will be the final roster for the piece

Autobots:
Optimus Prime, Ironhide, DotM Bumblebee, RotF Sideswipe, DotM Dino, Jazz, Elita-One, Scorn & Sentinal Prime!

Joes:
Roadblock, Duke, Colton, Snakeyes, Scarlett and I will add Lady Jaye for me

Now those that didn't have a specific movie version, I will choose - also for Sideswipe, there were 3 votes but 2 versions, so the one with the most votes got on the list.

Duke and Optimus cause they're the leaders

I wasn't expecting another roster and am a little surprised it wasn't front paged.

Oh, the roster that James mentioned in his post above is of characters that will be included in the piece - not another round of voting!

We will front page the next big update, not to worry.

Sorry guys - After a crazy rush at work - I've been working on the upcoming movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend" for Netflix (will be out in September btw) - I finally have some time to get drawing done!

I started laying out Optimus - using the design from the 1st transformers movie - will hopefully do constant updates over the next couple days:
